[jira] Commented: (NUTCH-722) Nutch contains jars that we cannot redistribute

["Andrzej Bialecki (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-722?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12683467#action_12683467 ] 

Andrzej Bialecki  commented on NUTCH-722:
-----------------------------------------

I added these libs when upgrading PDFBox. During my tests I discovered that they are needed to correctly parse PDFs with certain types of images. If these libs are absent PDFBox throws a RuntimeException.

Of course we should remove the libraries from our svn, but I wonder whether we shouldn't still download them on the fly.

> It seems that we have some jars (as part of pdf parser) that we cannot redistribute.
